Today I’m sharing another card idea featuring the Flowering Zinnias Designer Paper. It’s a simple, but stunning card when you have they right patterned paper. And the new Flowering Zinnias is an ideal choice with its mixture of bright, colorful florals and more subtle, but still bright “background” prints.
I paired the paper layers with Basic White Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, images from either the Charming Sentiments or Layering Leaves Stamp Sets, and the coordinating Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. Interested in shopping? See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them all in my online store.
The front base layer is the smaller Memories & More envelope.
The inside acts as a pocket for a gift card, a note, money, etc.
These cards were one of the make-n-take we made at our team event I helped host on the last night of OnStage in Houston last weekend.
Let me share with you how easy they are to put together. For each card you need a small envelope, a small card base, a large envelope (for gifting or mailing), and a large card base.
First cut the card bases each in half.
Set the large envelope and one of the large card base halves aside for now. Then put your other pieces (along with the designer paper layers) in this order:
- other large card base half
- 4″ x 6″ piece of designer paper
- small card base half
- small envelope
- other small card base half
- and 3″ x 4″ piece of designer paper.
Connect the first three (large card base half, 4″ x 6″ piece of designer paper, and small card base half) as shown. Connect the last two (other small card base half and 3″ x 4″ piece of designer paper) as shown. Punch the inside of the small envelope to make a half circle allowing more ease for adding/removing the gift card.
Add Dimensionals to the backside of the smaller layered piece. Stamp a sentiment onto the unused second large card base half, punch it out, and add Dimensionals to the back. Add adhesive to the inside of the small envelope flap.
Stamp the inside sentiment.
Using the inside layer as a guide, line up and attach the small envelope so the flap wraps around and attaches in the back.
Close the card and add the front layer and the punched out sentiment piece. Then finish by embellishing with sequins.
Here are two more card designs. The outside…
…and inside.
And here are the last two designs I’ve put together.
It was fun to see all the combinations everyone came up with at the team event last Saturday. I wish I would’ve taken photos.
It’s an easy card design for a card-making event, if you are making gift sets of cards, or if you just need a lot of cards yourself. And it’s cost efficient, because every piece of every sheet is used up if cut in this way:
- 4 of the double-sided sheets (2 of each for 8 sheets) cut into 4″ x 6″ layers = 48 pieces
- 2 of the double-sided sheets (2 of each for 4 sheets) cut into 3″ x 4″ layers = 48 pieces
Then just mix and match the designs…48 total cards can be made from one pack of designer paper!

Cute Cards Rachel 😍
Does the smaller white envelope just attach to the back and then you see it? Or did you cover it with something? (DSP)
Thanks Tina.
I didn’t cover it, but you could…maybe another 4″ x 6″ layer of designer paper. OR…Punch the sentiment from the center of the layer under the 3″ x 4″ designer paper layer. And attach the other 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ Basic White half on the back?
